Mortality among Patients Admitted to Strained Intensive Care Units [PDF]
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2013 Abstract Rationale The aging population may strain intensive care unit (ICU) capacity and adversely affect patient outcomes. Existing fluctuations in demand for ICU care offer an opportunity to explore such relationships. Objectives

Development of strain gages to analyze the stress intensity factor of a crack tip
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015 There are currently one or two kinds of strain gages to measure the stress intensity factor. It might not be sometimes easy to analyze the stress intensity factor with those gages.

A modelling technique for calculating stress intensity factors for structures reinforced by bonded straps. Part I: Mechanisms and formulation [PDF]
, 2010 This paper describes a 2D FE modelling technique for predicting fatigue crack growth life of integral structures reinforced by bonded straps. This kind of design offers a solution to the intrinsic lack of damage tolerance of integral structures.

Fracture mechanics approach to design analysis of notches, steps and internal cut-outs in planar components [PDF]
, 2007 A new approach to the assessment and optimization of geometric stress-concentrating features is proposed on the basis of the correspondence between sharp crack or corner stressfield intensity factors and conventional elastic stress concentration factors (

Self-referencing fibre-optic intensity strain sensors [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2005 A theoretical and experimental study of a Radio-Frequency (RF) Ring Resonator (RR) configuration for self-referencing and improving the sensitivity of fibre-optic intensity sensors (FOS) is reported. An experimental set-up directly applying this scheme to a multimode (MM) fibre strain sensor is shown and discussed, and a generic calibration using a ...
